Luanne, I so enjoy reading about your family. I hope to include more of my own in my blog. I do have some with the “Dutch side,” let me know if it helps you, and I will do the same!
I find writing about my research very helpful. For one thing, it “locks in” the information. I remember it after I write about it, whereas I wouldn’t otherwise. Plus it forces me to put information into a narrative, and that is what gives each character his or her story. That is what I do all the time on thefamilykalamazoo.com.
This is what I get for taking my 9-month blog-break! I didn’t know about your book, but it sounds fabulous. (I just ordered it from Amazon and can’t wait until it gets here!!!) Congratulations! What an accomplishment and boy, are you one busy gal! Take care!
Lenore, welcome back!!! Thank you so much! I can’t wait to hear what you think about it! And thanks for coming back to WordPress :). xo
You are getting lots of good buzz Luanne. I’m happy for you!
Amberly, thanks so much! Yay, me too! And I’m happy on behalf of my ancestors :).
